10 remarks on AI and math that can be true all at once:
1. The recent progress is stunning and exciting.
2. The Quasi-Riemann Hypothesis is arguably Fields-medal level.
3. Mathematics is being transformed and there is no way back.
4. OpenAI doesn't give a fuck about the future of mathematics.
5. Half-baked unreadable preprints claiming major results can effectively stall mathematical progress.
6. Some mathematicians are responding with naive, overly defensive comments.
7. The social-media wankers framing this as "OpenAI tramples gatekeeping" have no experience of mathematical research.
8. The product of mathematics is clarity and understanding. Not theorems, by themselves.
9. Mathematics is a critical infrastructure of human cognition. The human need for understanding isn't obsolete and it can't be offloaded to machines.
10. We haven't "solved" mathematics and we won't get there before the Sun burns out.

For the last 20 days, I’ve been reading old editions of Harrison and Herbert French from the 1960s-70s.
Back then, there were very few ancillary tests. Physicians had to build an entire diagnosis from 3 symptoms, a few signs, and careful observation.
The level of clinical and morphological detailing in those books is insane!!
I also have the latest editions. Current editions are discussing more about specificity/sensitivity of human made tests. Medicine has obviously advanced enormously. Ancillary tests, molecular diagnostics, cytogenetics and NGS have transformed patient care.
But they have also created dependency.
Physicians are becoming heavily dependent on the laboratory.
Pathologists are becoming heavily dependent on IHC, molecular testing and cytogenetics.
Physicians are slowly losing focus on symptoms and signs.
In the same way, pathologists are slowly losing focus on morphology.
And in the celebration of genotype, we are systematically reducing the importance of phenotype.
If Genotype is gold then Phenotype is diamond.
There is no going back. Technology will only increase, and this dependency will probably get worse.
At this rate, one day diagnosing a lipoma will require 5 doctors, 17 ancillary tests and an NGS panel.
And everyone will proudly call it “precision medicine.” 😭
A healthcare system drowning in investigations - and eventually, debt.
Sorry, i don't want to hurt your feelings. But this is the truth.

Over the last 24 hours, this account has welcomed a huge number of new followers — so we want to reiterate why the Athenaeum exists:
🚨 Elite university students are now incapable of reading a book. 🚨
Instead of fixing this, universities are simply reducing reading requirements to shorter and shorter excerpts.
In fact, professors are now saying they're unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history — college kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages.
Those managing this decline think that reading is merely a way of receiving information. It is not. Proper reading is a way to build the mental muscle to synthesize and evaluate ideas.
This decline in literacy and attention affects not just the young, but all who interact with attention-sapping technologies. We must all fight to retain our mental faculties. This is really urgent.
If the decline is not addressed now, we risk losing everything. Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that deep reading brings:
Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well-ordered minds to maintain them.
Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history. We must continue to form new minds in this same model if we're going to keep it.
So, we set up this book club simply to return to the Great Conversation of the West — to sit with Homer, Plato, Augustine, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton, and study the Great Books together.
Every 4–6 weeks, we read a new classic from the canon and gather at regular intervals to discuss.
It takes effort to read these texts well. We're doing so attentively, knowing that the Great Books, read properly, are a guide to a more beautiful life and mind.
Please join our group. Anyone can tune into our live broadcasts, or take out a paid subscription to join the discussions directly and get all of our resources.
As a member, you'll get:
- Live book club discussions (biweekly)
- Access to our incredible community chat
- Essays to guide you through the Great Books
- All past recordings, essays, and podcasts
- Ability to vote on what we read next

In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection from Nature.
Almost 30 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery.
Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.

📚 What's on your bookshelf that the Internet Archive doesn't have?
There's an app for that. 📱
Scan a book's barcode or ISBN to see whether the Internet Archive needs it for preservation and digitization.
Your old books could have another life, not just on your shelf, but in the library.

这两天YouTube上有一个视频杀疯了,
成都女孩“墨韵”用咱们两千多年历史的古筝,
翻弹了老鹰乐队的摇滚神曲《加州旅馆》,
狂揽两千多万播放量,底下的老外在评论区直接听懵了。
《加州旅馆》最绝的就是那段吉他Solo,
而墨韵硬是用古筝清脆悠扬的拨弦声,
把这段西方摇滚的经典神仙还原了。
她用现场循环演奏的方式,
把摇滚的狂野律动和东方民乐的韵味完美融合。
很多外国网友惊呼,这绝对是他们听过最不可思议、最美妙的翻唱版本,硬生生让咱们这门历史悠久的传统乐器在全球狠狠圈了一波粉。
这段旋律对咱们在美国、尤其是德州生活的华人来说,
听着感受极其奇妙。德州本来就是一个极度热爱经典摇滚和吉他文化的地方,平时大家开着车在高速上,电台里最常放的公路神曲就是这首。但当这首刻进美国人骨子里的旋律,顺着咱们老祖宗的古筝弦流淌出来时,那种东方底蕴跟西方经典完美碰撞的感觉,
真的让人头皮发麻,又极其自豪。
我们的文化不仅能高山流水,玩起经典流行一样能惊艳世界。

En la historia del cine hay películas que marcaron una época, obras cumbres que permitieron entender la naturaleza misma del séptimo arte. Al verlas, disfrutarlas y analizarlas, se alcanza una comprensión mayor del cine.
Para quienes no busquen hacer un curso completo, acá tienen Masterclasses dictadas en el último año. Los espero! comovercine.com

He recreado mi propio modelo anatómico 3D manipulable, interactivo y con herramientas de estudio para mis estudiantes de primer semestre.
Vi esto en X y con sates lo recreé a mi gusto en minutos.
